SMP To Replace Hair Systems, Manchester
Scalp micropigmentation can be an alternative for some people who wear a hair system: it is a non-surgical pigment treatment with nothing to attach, remove or clean. Micro Magic SMP in Manchester can talk you through how it compares with your system.
Scalp micropigmentation (SMP) and hair systems are two different approaches to dealing with hair loss or baldness. While they both aim to improve the appearance of a fuller head of hair, they have distinct characteristics, and one does not replace the other. However, SMP can be an alternative for some individuals who are considering hair systems. Here’s how they compare:
- SMP is a Non-Surgical Procedure
- Scalp micropigmentation is a non-invasive, cosmetic tattooing procedure that creates the illusion of hair follicles by depositing pigment onto the scalp. It does not involve surgery, and there is no need to attach or remove anything from the scalp.
- Hair Systems are Physical Attachments
- Hair systems are physical pieces, typically made of human or synthetic hair, that are attached to the scalp using adhesives, tapes, or clips. They require regular maintenance, including removal, cleaning, and reattachment.
- SMP Provides a Permanent Look
- SMP provides a permanent solution, as the pigment lasts for several years but may require touch-ups over time to maintain its appearance. It creates the illusion of a closely shaved head or a buzz-cut hairstyle and does not add actual hair length.
- Maintenance
- SMP requires minimal maintenance, while hair systems need regular cleaning, reattachment, and replacement.

Scalp Micropigmentation is a great treatment for men and women who currently wear a hair system. Scalp Micropigmentation is a virtually painless technique that hair system wearers can appreciate, whether male or female, and no matter what type of hair system you wear. Systems are very expensive. Most clients require two systems, so they still have one to wear while the other is being cleaned from time to time by the supplier. Perhaps an even greater issue is maintenance, which after a few months drives many users to search for alternatives. If you’re a hair system wearer and considering Scalp Micropigmentation, you’ll be pleased to know you’re in a great position to do so. We can schedule your appointments so that it looks like you are choosing to shave your head and show off your new full head of shaved hair.
In summary, while scalp micropigmentation and hair systems serve similar goals of improving the appearance of hair for individuals with baldness or hair loss, they are distinct solutions with different characteristics. SMP is a permanent cosmetic procedure that mimics the look of a closely shaved head, while hair systems are physical attachments.

Questions before you book
Is the treatment safe?
The treatment is perfectly safe, we dispose of all needles after each treatment and the equipment is cleaned after every client.
Are the results permanent?
Results are permanent, but touch-ups are needed every 1-3 years. Depending on lifestyle and immune system, it can be longer before a touch-up is required.
How long does the treatment take?
The treatment is done over three visits, and the length of each visit depends on the treatment you are having. Visit one will take between 2 and 8 hours, then there is a 14-day gap before visit two, which will again take around 2 to 8 hours. We then recommend a 4-week gap before the final visit, which will take approximately 2 to 8 hours.
How will you get the right colour shade?
In the first session we won’t go too dark, and we will see how the colour has settled. At the second and third sessions we can add more colour if required to get the perfect colour match.
How long will the redness last?
Each person is different and redness can last anything from 1-4 days.
Do I have to pay all in one go?
A deposit of £100 to £300, depending on the treatment being booked, is required to secure your booking; this is non-refundable. The remainder is split equally into three payments, one paid at each session.
